Back in the l960s when the watchword was "better living through chemistry," furniture manufacturers created an impervious vinyl upholstery and named it Naugahyde.
To encourage consumers to buy it, some advertising folks came up with the Naugahyde monster campaign: "The Nauga is ugly. But his vinyl hide is beautiful." Those clever Mad Men!

None! According to nauga.com:
Q: With all the cruelty in the world, how can you kill those cute little Naugas just for their hydes?
A: We don't. Naugas shed their hydes without harm to themselves, making Naugahyde the Cruelty-Free Fabric.
